Harry H. Page passed away on May 10, 2013 at the age of 88 in Red Bluff.

He was born in Pasadena, Calif. He earned his doctor’s degree in veterinarian medicine in Philadelphia, Penn.

After marrying Marion Page, they traveled across the country to Yreka, where they built a home on Walter’s Lane. As a veterinarian, he often vaccinated cattle in zero temperatures high in the Modoc area. He had a love of boating, taking many trips on the Delta and at Folsom Lake.

He was a proud leader in both Boy and Girl Scouts. He often hauled canoes to the mountain lakes and his homemade telescope to Blue Canyon to view the stars and galaxies. All these outings were valued by all. He always offered to share his vast knowledge with others. Friends and family marveled at his ability to recite profound poetry and wonderful stories. In the summertime, he would help his daughter and son-in-law with their vast almond orchard in Winters. In his later years he made new friends, joined the Lion’s Club of Yreka, becoming their treasurer, and putting out flags on special holidays. He was a very loyal member of this organization. He was sorely missed when he moved to Red Bluff two years ago.

At the end of his fight with pneumonia, he was surrounded by loving family and his loyal dog/pal Kody. He was well known for his sparkling personality. He was preceded in death by his beloved daughter Gail.

He leaves behind three adult children, five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Everyone will miss his cheery disposition and love.

The memorial service will take place at 4 p.m. this Friday, May 17, 2013 in Sacramento at East Lawn Chapel.
